Video of the Day

Brush both sides of each piece of sliced steak with oil. Use olive oil or canola, depending on your preference.

Sprinkle salt and pepper -- or crushed peppercorns -- on the steak.

Decide whether you want to stay with the classic cheese steak, or whether you'd rather have a garlic cheese steak or a Cajun cheese steak.

Saute at least three crushed cloves of garlic and a splash of oil in a pan over medium heat if you're making a garlic cheese steak. Once the garlic is cooked and fragrant, use the oil to cook the cheese steak.
